...Ting Shao
Kuang, a prominent contemporary Chinese painter
in America, has produced works characterized by a combination of
traditional Chinese
painting techniques and the more expressive Western art forms.
He has created a unique style that does not belong exclusively to the
East or the West, but to the world. Ting Shao
Kuang was born in Chenggu, a village located in
the Norhern province of Shanxi, China in
1939. In order to survive his loneliness and alienation, Ting turned to painting
for solace. By age 11, he was painting every day, using cooking oil
as a medium for his pigment. Despite his lack of
adequate supplies, he evidenced such remarkable talent that, in 1954, he
was given the opportunity to attend the prestigious high school
affiliated with the Central
Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. In 1957, Ting was accepted at Jeijing's Central Academy of Arts and Crafts.
Although he was taught "socialist Realism" in his classes, it was
during this time that he discovered the works of Picasso, Matisse and
Modigliani. The paintings of these artists inspired him to
experiment with new themes and techniques....
